Foucault, Marxism and Critique
ISBN: 9780415864831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this work, originally released in 1983, Barry Smart examines the relevance of Foucault's work for developing an understanding of those issues which lie beyond the limits of Marxist theory and analysis - issues such as 'individualising' forms of power, power-knowledge relations, the rise of 'the social', and the associated socialisation of politics.

Smart thus presents Foucault's work as a new form of critical theory, whose object is a critical analysis of...
